Another great jacket from rab - Rab Microlight Alpine Jacket - Men's

Owning several RAB pieces I am in no way surprised by the quality of this jacket. Very warm, very light, solid RAB construction. For reference I am 6' tall and 190lb, athletic build, about a 34-35" waist and 41" chest and went with the large. Perfect fit allowing me to wear a RAB or Montane fleece under the jacket when needed but not too big if just wearing a light base-layer or t-shirt. Compresses down to nothing so you can stuff it in your pack and never know it is there. Two notes that I feel are important. The front hand warmer pockets are great until you reach the bottom of the pocket closest the the hem of the jacket, there is no down insulation there so your hands get cold. The other issue is that for a jacket of this quality I would like to see a heavier weight YKK zip, the one that comes on the jacket feels a little small or weak. I have have no issue with it but thought to mention it all the same. Overall a killer jacket and if you can get it on sale, even better. Don't hesitate in picking one up.......
